Wonderful Moroccan experience

We hit the lottery finding this place in Fez. Mohamed and his crew were amazing. Our stay felt more like staying at a family member or friends house than a hotel. The building is beautiful, clean, the room was big and so beautiful with Moroccan art. The food was delicious and Mohamed was very helpful in finding us an excellent tour guide.

Authentic, comfortable fez experience

The riad was beautiful but a bit difficult to find. The best way to get there is to go up the steps opposite the Pharmacie Amine on the main road and turn right about 3/4 of the way up where the paths cross. The riad itself was clean and comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly, even offering to walk us to another riad for dinner. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide selection of food. The riad is in the heart of the medina so is situated within what seems like a maze of alleyways which could make some travellers uneasy, especially at night, but we didn't have any problems. The room was simple but clean, although some might be put off by the bathroom situation as the door was like a swinging stable door which meant there wasn't total privacy (This wasn't a problem as we were a couple, but it might be if you are not family etc) You will likely hear various animals and possibly the prayer call (I heard it at 5am) but this is to be expected in this location. Overall, I would recommend this riad if you would like an authentic experience in the heart of the medina. We would stay here again.

A calm space in the storm of Fez

We really enjoyed staying here. It's in the Medina but just a few minutes walk from a main road to one of the main gates, so nice location. Breakfast was nice, very low key, no pressure to take their tours or eat at the riad which we appreciated. Very nice quiet atmosphere. If anything, I could only say it was a bit chilly in the main space, but I think thats just how these traditional houses are, they don't really heat them, so when it's cold it's cold, our room had a very nice hvac unit and it was nice and toasty after a cold day walking around.

Simply the best in Fez!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Juliet is a phenomenal hostess. She arranged our tours of the local area at our request and looked after us like her own children to include advice that kept us safe and healthy during our stay. Juliet and her staff embodied the ideals of safety and comfort for us during our stay. We will return to her again and we will always wholeheartedly recommend this Riad to our friends who are interested in travel to Fez.

A very friendly and comfortable Riad in a good location, within the Medina but a pleasant distance away from the most touristic areas. On the evening that we dined in, the Riad produced an excellent and very reasonably priced dinner. Great views from the roof terrace.

Easy to get to ,handy to medina.

The Abdullah suite was huge and beautiful. Nice big bathroom and English channels on TV. It was nice having breakfast on the roof terrace,even though basic fare. A squealing Neighbour child and early rising rooster were a bit annoying but didn't spoil our stay. A bit more expensive than some Riads ,but worth it.

Interior decor wows you when you step in

It is a wonderful place. When you walk through the narrow alleyways, you cannot but wonder whether you made the right choice. But when they open the door and you walk in, it takes your breadth away. The owners are on site during day time and they are very courteous. Juliette even provided some medicine for my daughter. They even walked with us to get a taxi etc. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. The Riad is a little bit dark but that is to be expected. It has all the modern amenities. The medina tour with an elderly gentleman (I think Muhammad) was very worth every penny of it. He was very knowledgeable, very accommodative and even helped us to buy a tagine at the market. I would highly recommend him. The reasons I am giving them the rating of 3 are due to the dinner that they served and the taxi that they booked for our tour of the city. The dinner was overpriced and the chicken was tough as a rubber. The worst part was the driver that they booked for our tour of the city. Moulin or something was his name. He was extremely rude. When we booked we told that we had seen the palace and would like to be dropped off at the train station and would like to see a garden instead of the palace. He refused to take us to the garden. He cut short our trip by about an hour and very rude. He was also not happy about dropping us off at the station even though we were closer to the station than the Riad. All is all a very bad experience for a very high price.

Ok but could stay better

The place is an old family house with a nice decoration, some kind of antique place. Our room was in the third floor which made a little difficult to get up and down, specially with our luggage. The room shara feels old, mainly the bathroom, than in our opinion needs a remodelation. Breakfast is fantastic!

Beautiful Riad, wrong side of the Medina

The service, food and general atmosphere was excellent. The room was larger than other Riads in which we stayed. However, the location was not ideal. Most sites in the medina were a long walk away, and often a taxi ride.

We took wonderful day trips and all of our guides were fantastic. We were always greeted with smiles and felt very comfortable. We would have never had the same experience staying in a large hotel.

Great Owner & Beautiful Riad

The Riad Dar Guennon is absolutely beautiful inside. I was not expecting such a wonderful relaxing hotel. The rooms are unique and the roof top has an amazing view over the Medina in Fez. The hotel food is great and authentic but a little expensive in comparison to food in the rest of the city. As soon as we walked in we were upgraded into a larger room because it was available. To me that is wonderful service and extremely nice. My concerns - are focused around it is not in the best place in the Medina at night (a little unsafe) just make sure you are not out too late & the smaller rooms are quite small - just be prepared.
